You're gonna be looking at the diagnostic criteria for different mental health disorders and substance abuse disorders. And then we're also going to take a look at the stages of change, which is how we measure how people are moving through, um, any kind of issue and how we can better serve them if we know which stage of change there in. It's a very useful tool and something that I like to use alongside the client with them and be very transparent about the stage of change that I see in them because it can help them to sort of shift there, decision to move forward or to make a change in their life if they are wanting to do that and it can help us in the way that we talked to a client or in the ways that we decide they need support from us. So this is a pretty dense week. There's a lot here. You have a quiz this week, and it's due on Sunday. The final. Your final try is due on Sunday. Um, there's no time limit on your quiz.
